A powerful experience
As a freshman, getting the chance to participate in this program is a wonderful thing. BLAST would help me to start thinking about college, what I want to do, and my major. This program would be a great opportunity to be able to experience the college life and explore a college campus. Also, it allows me to try new activities and learn new skills. It will give me a chance to see what life after high school is like, firsthand.…
I am writing to express my interest in joining Collegiate 100. I strongly admire the work of your sponsoring chapter, The 100 Black Men. The 100 Black Men of Chicago, Inc. (my hometown's chapter) continues to be a dominant presence and uplifts the community through events such as their scholarship and job fairs. Upon moving to Houston this past August, I was thrilled to see that The 100 Black Men had established an extension of their efforts within the college community.…

I think I should be a part of Mortar Board because I have spent the entirety of my college career working to strengthen my skills in leadership and build on my character. I am very dedicated to my studies, and I make it a priority to excel in all of my classes. While I am already involved in many activities on campus, I am always careful to decide whether I have the time to give to a new organization before joining. I am well aware of the time requirements and level of commitment that would be expected of me as a member of Mortar Board, and I am both able and willing to commit. I think I would be a great addition to Mortar Board because scholarship, leadership, and service are all aspects of my life that are very important to me.…
Attending GHP would be a dream come true because I have desired the opportunity to participate in GHP since freshmen year when I learned what GHP is. It is an amazing program that could help me grow not only as a student but also a person. I believe that GHP will provide me with a unique experience which will further my preparedness for college. It will be my first time traveling for an elongated period of time without my family alongside me. Additionally, we are given more support from a teacher in high school than that given in college, so I will encounter the effort required to do well in college.…
My time at Barnegat High School has helped me to become who I am today and will most defiantly impact what I will do in the future. The teachers and my peers have all been an influence on my life and during the four years that I spent at the school, I have done some things for the school and the community as a way to thank them for giving me the opportunities that they have. It was they who pushed me to keep trying and striding to succeed and without them, I would not have accomplished what I have today. One of the things that I am most proud of doing is helping to bring new clubs and activities to Barnegat High School. This year, with the help of other students and advisors, a new club made it into the ranks of the diverse sea of clubs and groups that already exist.…
Explain three reasons why you are interested in becoming a DNY Peer Leader. * The main reason I am interested in becoming a DNY Peer Leader is due to my love for New York. I spend a lot of my weekends simply adventuring through the city. It is one, if not the, main reason I decided to attend St. John’s. I want other students to be excited about the area they attend college in.…

Education is probably one of the most important endeavors people can attempt in their life. Studies show those who have a degree of some kind will earn considerably more during their working years than those who do not. Today, college entrance rates are increasing but graduation rates are not following the same pattern. Why are fewer students graduating these days?…
Sabas Padilla Why do you want to join Omega Delta Phi? I want to join ODPhi because it is a community of strong minded brothers who dedicate their time into being a positive influence in their community. The brothers have presented themselves with the utmost professionalism and I know that being part of this brotherhood will help ensure my success during college and beyond. Not only will the brotherhood be a positive influence on myself, I believe that I can too bring some light into the chapter.…
I believe an ideal NJHS member should be someone with a good character, someone who works well in groups, someone who is passing all their classes, someone who is willing to work before and after school if needed, and someone who is responsible. All of these things are important, because there is not always going to be someone around to tell them what to do and when to do it. So if they have these qualities, they can easily learn to work things out by themselves. An NJHS member should be someone who has a good character because you don't want someone who will just be mean to everyone and be rude when they disagree.…
I would love to participate in an ISSLP because I enjoy service, want to improve my language and culture fluency, and develop more as a person. The ISSLP will allow me to do all three. During high, at my new school, I was introduce to service work and quickly fell in love. I worked in a variety of areas and organization and learned a great number of things about life, my community, and myself. Unfortunately, I have been unable to perform as much volunteer work as I would like to, which is why I'm seeking out summer opportunities.…
I am also very interested in photography. On the shadow day I saw a group of students walking around with cameras and taking pictures of many things, and it looked unique and interesting. I take pictures about everyday of things I find beautiful or interesting. Photography makes me happy and I am very passionate about it. I am also very interested in join the baking club, Disney club, and random acts of kindness.…
I value the opportunity to apply to such a highly esteemed program. It has always been a goal of mine to live and work in Washington, DC. I find it to be an incredible city of individuals with great ambition. I am applying to the Leadership and the American Presidency Institute, specifically, because I find the American Presidency to be the most intriguing job in the world. It fascinates me that one individual can have so much power yet be considerably constrained at the same time.…
Unauthorized collaborating is when you receive, share or work with someone on an assignment without specific permission from your professor. This rule applies to homework, classwork, take home tests, essays and other assignments. Working with another student without permission affects your ability to learn the material and you may be using it to your advantage instead of actually putting the effort into completing your assignments. Professors may have different policies from course to course but the policy is always stated on the syllabus. Unauthorized collaboration is not a part of the syllabus because if you combine your ideas with another student' ideas then you have an edge on your classmates because you all have combined your thoughts…
